Question

Suppose gdp in this country is $800 million. enter the amount for government purchases. national income account value (millions of dollars) government purchases ( gg ) taxes minus transfer payments ( tt ) 260 consumption ( cc ) 300 investment ( ii ) 300

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore government purchases is $300 million

Explanation:

In this case, GDP is the sum of consumption, investment, and government purchases. To calculate the value of consumption we use the formula:

CC + II + GG = Y

GG = Y - CC - II

Where:

government purchases = GG

taxes minus transfer payments (TT) = $260 million

consumption (CC) = $300 million

investment (II) = $300 million

Y = country GDP = $800 million

GG = Y - CC - II

Substituting:

GG = $800 million - $300 milllion - $300 million

GG = $200 million

Therefore government purchases is $300 million
